Endangered Amur Tiger Released into the Wild!

Today, there are believed to be fewer than 350 Amur tigers left in the wild. With population numbers so low, the success of each individual is critical for the preservation of the species.

Recently, IFAW released Zolushka, an Amur tigress that was orphaned as a cub when her mother was likely killed by poachers. IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare worked with partners in far east Russia to rescue and rehabilitate this amazing animal.

Watch the video to learn more about Zolushka’s story and watch her incredible return to the wild.
